Family of 8 displaced after townhome fire in Cimarron Hills

Fire officials say a family of eight is being relocated after a “rapid” moving fire tore through their townhome in Cimarron Hills on Tuesday.

The Cimarron Hills Fire Department said the fire broke out at around 4 p.m. in the 1200 block of Cree Drive, located north of the Peterson Space Force Base in unincorporated El Paso County. The department said the fire was contained to one unit that was part of a 6-plex building.

Crews arrived to see a plume of smoke from a blaze burning in the top unit. Several other agencies — from Falcon, Colorado Springs and Security — arrived to assist.
